Avon Tires?

[2002maniac]

Haven't tried AVON yet but Hankooks are the same way (.5-1sec of Hoosiers).. for the price you can't beat them.

what does that mean? Over a 3.5 minute lap of a track or a 30 second autocross?

They're pretty decent tires. My buddy ran them last season on his street mod GTI. He was regularly in the top three, and they lasted the whole season.. The life on them alone is a great selling point...

That's what I was told today -- that the life expectancy with the Avons is pretty incredible.

Came from a very credible source, so +1 for that.

what I hear is that they are about .5 to 1sec slower then hoosiers

Avons are actually fairly popular in the european car magazines... I don't know what that says about their quality, but they have been around for a while and their tires do well in the comparrison tests (like on Tirerack). I almost bought a set of the Tech M500s or something after I put the same tires on an older Porsche 911.

anyone have any experience with Avon tires?
I just ordered a new set of wheels and was looking for a new set of tires. I like my hoosiers, but I found the Avons on tirerack for pretty cheap.
Any opinions on them?
